Today is Friday. The Friday before our date to be more specific. I laid back on my bed staring at my ceiling as Marissa rambled on and on about- you know, I actually have no clue what she's even talking about. Marissa was always one to do that kind of thing, making something small into a huge deal.
"so does that all sound good for you?" Marissa asked, a look of pure excitement in her eyes.
"ya, sure, definitely. now if you could just repeat it to make sure I got it all" I said giving her a small smile.
Marissa groaned in addition to her overexaggarated eyeroll. "to sum it all up, we're going to buy some outfits at the mall and then have a sleepover at my house and get ready together."
I looked over at the time on my iHome sitting on my dresser.
"you were talking for over two hours just about that?" I asked sitting up in an upright position.
"of course, do you not realize that this is the most important day of all of our whole high school experience" Marissa said, obviously over dramatically.
"what about prom? or graduation day? or our whole senior year in general? you don't think that any of those are more important than Satur-" and I was cut off, yet again.
"all you see tomorrow as is Saturday? no, tomorrow may be Saturday, but it is not Saturday" she argued, popping my bubble of personal space.
"I hope you realize that that sentence made little to no sense whatsoever" I shrugged laying back down staring at the glow in the dark stars on my ceiling from the third grade.
"hey, do you remember when we begged my mom to buy those for us?" I questioned pointing to them.
Marissa followed my gaze and smiled.
"of course I do"
I remember the day so clearly, weird how things work out like that.
It was the day before Halloween and my mom was doing some last minute candy shopping, which meant that all she got was the crappy candy everyone throws away. Marissa and I, her annoying company, wandered off looking at all of the different Halloween stuff that was everywhere.
"woah" Marissa gasped
"what?" I'd asked looking around puzzled
"right there" she said pointing toward the stars hanging just out of our reach.
"what's so 'woah' about them mar? they're stars" I'd told her, clearly not amused.
"Brooke, they're glow in the dark" she'd said in the most excited voice I'd ever heard.
"oh my gosh we need to get those" I'd told Marissa.
"already on it" Marissa said as she plopped down a little Halloween bucket,upside down, and stood on it grabbing the stars and hopping down.
"now what though? We don't have any money and I don't think my moms going to buy them for us" I frowned
"well it never hurts to ask" she grinned as she skipped down the isle in search of my mom.
Once we found her it took a good twenty minutes of begging and promises before she agreed to buy the dollar pack of glow in the dark stars.
